On the 6th July, both myself Martin Lewis and Rob Elliot, my next door neighbour will travel up from Bridgwater to John O Groats, the most northern part of Scotland.
On the 7th July, our Cycle ride begins! Our objective of course, is to travel from John O Groats to Lands End, We will spend the whole day riding, and hope to average around 100 miles each day. By Night time, we will be camping by the side of the road somewhere in the UK!!!
We think we can get this challenge done within 12 days, although that will be of course, be dependant on Body Ability, Bike Ability and the Weather!!
Without a doubt, for both of us, this is the toughest challenge we have ever faced! I started cycling just 10 months ago at 20stone. Today i am 6 stone lighter and much fitter, and feeling positive and motivated to pull this off.
I am a keen photographer, and the heaviest item in my kit bag will indeed be my trusty Camera! Can you imagine some of the sights i am going to see? The landscape is going to be incredible!
The many lochs we pass in Scotland, the highlands, cumbria, the lake district, somerset, devon, the cornish coast, the list really does go on! I will be capturing all those moments, and on our return will set about picking the best 12 pictures to put together the JOSIE MAY Calendar 2016
This will be a very special calendar that you can learn more about by visiting our page here at www.kickstarter.com
By liking the above fb page, you will recieve daily updates on our preparation as well as daily updates whilst we take on the challenge. Follow the Trials and Tribulations, and at the end, why not purchase one of our Calendars!
We have already had some interest with the Media, along with famous celebrities such as Fern Britton, Lee Fancourt, and hopefully as the day becomes closer, we will have generated even more interest.
It is also importing to note that ZERO money will be made for ourselves for this Challenge. 100% of the Proceed of the sales of the Calendar will go to a very sick little girl Josie May, who sadly suffers from PH (Pulmonary Hypertension).
